Where Can I Compare Different Kinds of Motor Oil?

With all of the hype surrounding the various brands of motor oil, it can often be difficult to choose the one that is right for your vehicle.  Manufacturers tell us all kinds of things in the commercials.  The question is, how do we separate the truth from the fiction?  One of the few objective ways to differentiate between different oils is via technical specification motor oil comparisons.

With so many marketing ploys in effect, how are you to know which oil you should be buying for you specific engine? Most consumers would love to have access to an accurate and unbiased motor oil comparison.  A detailed comparison will make it easier for you to select the brand of oil, and the specific blend, that will work best with your car, but this can be tough to come by.

In fact, honestly, it doesn't really exist.  Even though you may find an isolated comparison here or there on the net, generally speaking, these comparisons are done by individuals who cannot possibly account for all of the different variables and variations that will occur from one "test" to another.  So, what do you do?  How do you know what oil to purchase, which oil is best?

Do your own motor oil comparisons.  Get a copy of "The Motor Oil Bible" which will help you understand the various differences between motor oils and will educate you regarding the various technical specifications you'll need to investigate in order to objectively compare various motor oils and their relative ability to protect your expensive vehicles and equipment.

The truth is, you really shouldn't fully trust ANY of the propaganda that the various motor oil manufacturers' publish ...

... until you are able to take an objective and EDUCATED look at the technical specifications for their oils and judge for yourself whether what they SAY about their oils is accurate and justified, you will never find an unbiased and objective motor oil comparison.  The Motor Oil Bible will help you understand those technical specifications - what they mean, how the tests are run, which specifications will be most important to YOU and your situation, etc.

The next time you buy oil, make sure you are armed with the information you need to get the most out of your engine.  Don't rely on the unlikely possibility that you'll find unbiased comparisons to help you make your decision.  Learn what you need to know so that you can easily do the comparisons yourself and KNOW that you've found the right oil.
